Barney Frank thinks Elizabeth Warren will run for President, despite her present-tense denials:

What Barney Frank lacks in tact, he makes up for in clarity.

The former Massachusetts congressman tells the State House News Service in Massachusetts that it’s “very unlikely” Hillary Clinton won’t seek the presidency in 2016.

But he also believes Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., – who is in the midst of a publicity tour for her new book – privately harbors White House ambitions.

She is a senator, after all.

Asked whether Warren has any inclination to seek the presidency, Frank said, “Oh, I think yes. In the first place, why would you want to get into a profession and have no interest in rising to the top of it? I don’t know anybody who has that.”

Despite Elizabeth Warren’s statement that she isn’t running for President (technically true), the media is making the case for her.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) says she’s not running for president in 2016, and we believe her — for the most part.

But there is one thing that will keep the pilot light of the Warren for President speculation aflame: the almost-gaping hole in the Democratic primary that seems tailor-made for her.

Look no further than the new Washington Post-ABC News poll for a little glimpse into that void. The poll shows that a huge portion of the Democratic base not only dislikes Wall Street and big business; its voters actually think these institutions are inflicting harm on them personally….

Given this — along with her well-demonstrated fundraising prowess — it’s not difficult to envision Warren becoming instantly relevant in the 2016 presidential race, which is why the questions about whether she’ll eventually run won’t stop anytime soon.

Elizabeth Warren is adamant that she is not seeking to move up to the White House.

“I am not running for president,” the Massachusetts Democrat told The Huffington Post, as she has told many others. “You can ask that question any way you want, but you’re going to get the same answer.”

That’s not exactly the question HuffPost was asking, though. The question was why readers of her new memoir and political treatise, A Fighting Chance, shouldn’t take from it a very powerful argument for why Warren should run….

Perhaps Warren does not think that climbing onto the high-profile platform of a presidential bid lands in the category of doing “everything I can.” But her book also shows how often in her public career she looked at the lay of the land and said no, or at least hesitated. She often had to be convinced.

The Democratic bureaucracy, which backs Hillary, should want Warren to run. If Hillary is anointed, Democrats will always wonder, “What if?”

Sure Warren faked being Native American, to get into Harvard, and she dropped that claim when it no longer served her purpose … BUT … she has several Native American recipes that she stole, and don’t you deniers claim she hasn’t cooked them all at least once. You can’t take THAT suffering from her.

… and while refusing to meet with actual Native Americans, Warren still commiserates with their suffering, via all the assaults on her character from the likes of unnamed bloggers firing shots at her.

And just because her ancestors forced the Native Americans down the trail of tears, rather than actually enduring it, doesn’t mean her ancestral psyche doesn’t share the pain of the incident. THEY WERE THERE. WERE YOU?

and if you’ve never endured the suffering of growing up in a perhaps somewhat high cheekbone lily white family … then just STFU

She is the progressives darling. Warren paeans appear regularly, most recently in the New York Review of Books. She is the choice of the anti-Clinton Democrats. Get your barf bags ready, you will need them.
